Welcome to our cozy guest suite, nestled in the pristine woods of rural Maine with beautiful lake views. This private space is part of our home, offering a peaceful escape surrounded by nature—just under an hour from Acadia National Park. Your suite includes a plush queen-sized bed, a private bathroom, and a private sitting room—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The sitting area features a comfy sofa, a table for two, a Keurig coffee maker, and a mini refrigerator with a separate freezer. After a full day adventuring in Acadia, come home to rest and recharge in the quiet woods. Unwind by one of our fire pits—choose from a screened gazebo, a private nook in the yard, the lakeside spot, or the convenient deck. You’ll also have access to our private lakeside area, complete with two kayaks, a dock for swimming, and a sitting area where you can enjoy the cool breeze and catch the sunset. Guests are welcome to use our shared kitchen and enjoy grilling on the deck. A perfect place to end your day in Maine—comfortable, quiet, and close to nature.
We’re George and Lesley—lovers of the outdoors, good company, and the quiet beauty of Maine. Along with our two small (and very sweet!) dogs, Chubs and Lucy, we welcome you to share a peaceful slice of our home and the woods we call home. We’ve traveled to many national parks and love exploring new places. Our guest room features a collection of mementos from our adventures—each with a story and a memory attached. George enjoys photography and is often found behind a camera or at the grill, while Lesley loves reading, painting, and soaking in the calm of the forest. Sunrises with coffee in hand and sunsets by the lake are some of our favorite parts of the day. We believe that strangers are just friends we haven't met yet and hope you’ll feel right at home here—rested, inspired, and connected to the beauty around you. We’re here if you need us and always happy to share our favorite local tips—or just a good story by the fire.
Gateway to Acadia – Peaceful Lakeside Stay in the Woods We’re more than just a place to rest your head—our secluded, lakeside home is the perfect base for your Downeast Maine adventure. Nestled in the quiet woods with views of the lake, our location offers both tranquility and easy access to some of Maine’s most iconic destinations. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are less than an hour away, making it easy to spend your days exploring rugged coastline, scenic hikes, and stunning mountain views—then return to the peace and quiet of the forest. Whether you’re chasing sunrise on Cadillac Mountain or strolling along Ocean Path, our home is an ideal retreat after a day of discovery. Though we’re tucked away in a rural setting, conveniences are close by. A local general store and the beloved Pugnuts Ice Cream shop are just under 10 minutes from our home. For more shopping and dining options, you’ll find plenty to explore in downtown Ellsworth or the historic village of Blue Hill—both just a 15-minute drive. If you’re looking to experience the best of Acadia and Downeast Maine while staying in a quiet, lakeside setting, you’ve found the right place.
